Update

Piece by piece, the tail of the Jenny is coming together.....

It may not seem like much progress, but there are a lot of bolts to torque, nuts to cotter and turnbuckles to safety. We're getting there!

When I got tired of working on the tail, I took a few minutes to play around with various paint scheme combinations. I wanted to see what the "Browers Pound Cake Cones" logo looked like on the side of the fuselage.

Lastly, aviation archeologist David Trojan sent me two articles he had written that you might find interesting. If you like Jennies, and find Charles Lindbergh as fascinating as I do, then click on each page and read on!
